Chelsea and Real Madrid Reach Agreement Over Morata

Chelsea have reached an agreement
with Spanish champions, Real Madrid for the signature of Alvaro Morata for a
fee of about £60m.

The 24 year old who is yet to
sign or have a medical with Chelsea spent majority of last season on the
substitute bench as he competed for a starting spot with Karim Benzema and
Cristiano Ronaldo.

Morata was a transfer target for
English giants, Manchester United and the Reds were believed to have been close
to signing the goal poacher before they moved to sign Romelu Lukaku from
Everton due to a lack of agreement with the Spanish Champions.

Morata who scored 20 goals last
season for Real Madrid, is expected to

replace the departing Diego Costa at
Stamford Bridge.

Morata also spoke of his delight
at joining up with his former boss, Antonio Conte who coached him during his
time at Juventus.

Speaking ahead of the move, Morata
said, "I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most
faith in me, and that's great for me"

If Morata signs, he will become
the Blues’ fourth signing of the summer after the acquisition of Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue
Bakayoko all from Manchester City, AS Roma, and As Monaco respectively.

The Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II 90th birthday is on April 21 and ahead of the celebration she has posed for a portrait photo with her great-grand children- Prince George and Charlotte.

The photo was taken on Monday at Windsor Castle where Her Majesty will be when her birthday comes around, and Buckingham Palace is expected to announce public engagements in the Windsor area on the 21st and possibly the 20th.
